FIELD: physics, computation hardware.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to data transfer, particularly, to joint use of traffic at multicast. Proposed method comprises the steps whereat the router of one network segment is used to get IP-address of every router of the same segment and to get the data on the range of multicast every router is responsible for. Mask is used issued by every router for hashing algorithm as that selected from multiple masks. In compliance with multicast requested by user's hardware at connection and by the range of multicast every router is responsible for the router is selected. Also selected is the range of multicast which includes said address. Note here that when a definite router represents multiple routers each IP-address thereof is used as an input value of hashing algorithm. Router is selected in compliance with obtained hash-function corresponding to every input value which is responsible for redirection of multicast burst with multicast.
EFFECT: efficient traffic transmission by one router.
